Description
Canons Ashby House features garden walls, gates, and gatepiers from the early 18th century. The walls are made of coursed squared ironstone, with some ironstone ashlar and limestone dressings. A stone-coped wall runs from the Lion Gates at the bottom of the orchard to the east side of the garden, enclosing it and leading to the gates and gatepiers that access the park. The gatepiers have moulded plinths, cornices, and plain sides, supporting suits of armour on square moulded bases with splayed feet. There are wrought iron gates and an overthrow. The wall continues north to meet the southeast corner of Canons Ashby House, where there is a doorway featuring a 4-centred chamfered arch head and jambs. The eastern side has external buttresses, one of which is dated 1873. Canons Ashby gardens and park are also recognized in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission Register of Gardens at Grade II.
